'Formation of New Market-Leading Healthcare Services Provider - Adventis Health
Limited'
Adventis Group plc ('Adventis' or the 'Company'), the AIM-quoted full service
multimedia marketing and advertising agency, announces that it has recently
consolidated its three healthcare creative and medical education agencies, which
formed the Adventis Healthcare services division, namely Affiniti Advertising,
Roundhouse HealthAd and LeapFrog, into a new trading entity which will be
branded Adventis Health Limited ('Adventis Health').
Adventis Health will be run by three directors, namely Stuart Tennant, Tim
Schofield and Kevin McGetrick. All three have extensive healthcare and
management experience.
This consolidation of Adventis Group's strength in the healthcare sector follows
on from the former division's earlier move into centralised premises in
Beaconsfield, near to the M25 and M40, in August 2007 in addition to the
Company's existing offices in Hertford and Central London.
Adventis Health, whose clients include, GSK, Pfizer, MSD, Roche, Novartis,
Boehringer Ingelheim, Allergan, Baxter and Merck Serono, provides a range of
highly skilled advertising and marketing services as well as medical education &
PR programmes to the healthcare industry, targeted at both healthcare
professionals and patients, in order to improve clients' sales and brand
awareness.
The Company anticipates that the formation of Adventis Health will create one of
the industry's top five pharmaceutical industry service providers with a
formidable, award-winning team of over 60 employees. The enlarged Healthcare
services operations will have the capability to provide a complete range of
integrated marketing services, from medical education, to advertising, to new
media. It will also provide the opportunity for an increased level of
cross-selling and the ability to provide multinational clients with a greater
local understanding of target markets.
Charles Phillpot, Chief Executive of Adventis Group plc, commented:
'The creation of this new platform servicing the healthcare sector is a
fantastic opportunity to leverage to the full our expertise in this arena. We
will now be one of the few companies in the industry to offer a full service
marketing capability and the ability to handle larger and more complex campaigns
for clients.'
